NOVA VULGATADOUAI-RHEIMS
1 In septimo mense, vicesima et prima mensis, factum est ver bum Domini inmanu Aggaei prophetae dicens:1 In the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king, they began.
2 “ Loquere ad Zorobabel filium Salathiel ducemIudae et ad Iesua filium Iosedec sacerdotem magnum et ad reliquos populi dicens:2 And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
3 Quis in vobis est derelictus, qui vidit domum istam in gloria sua prima? Etquid vos videtis eam nunc? Numquid non ita est quasi non sit in oculis vestris?3 Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying:
4 Sed et nunc confortare, Zorobabel, dicit Dominus, et confortare, Iesua filiIosedec sacerdos magne, et confortare, omnis popule terrae, dicit Dominusexercituum; et facite, quoniam ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus exercituum.4 Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in comparison to that as nothing in your eyes?
5 Verbum quod pepigi vobiscum, cum egrederemini de terra Aegypti, et spiritus meusstat in medio vestrum; nolite timere.5 Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take courage, O Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts)
6 Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum:Adhuc unum modicum est, et ego commovebo caelum et terram et mare et aridam.6 The word that I covenanted with you when you came out of the land of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not.
7 Et movebo omnes gentes, et venient thesauri cunctarum gentium, et implebo domumistam gloria, dicit Dominus exercituum.7 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.
8 Meum est argentum et meum est aurum,dicit Dominus exercituum.8 And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.
9 Maior erit gloria domus istius novissima plus quamprima, dicit Dominus exercituum; et in loco isto dabo pacem, dicit Dominusexercituum ”.9 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
10 In vicesima et quarta noni mensis, in anno secundo Darii, factum est verbumDomini ad Aggaeum prophetam dicens:10 Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
11 “ Haec dicit Dominus exercituum:Interroga sacerdotes legem dicens:11 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the prophet, saying:
12 Si tulerit homo carnem sanctificatam inora vestimenti sui et tetigerit de summitate eius panem aut pulmentum aut vinumaut oleum aut omnem cibum, numquid sanctificabitur? ”. Respondentes autemsacerdotes dixerunt: “ Non ”.12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying:
13 Et dixit Aggaeus: “ Si tetigerit pollutuscadavere omnia haec, numquid contaminabuntur? ”. Et responderunt sacerdotes etdixerunt: “ Contaminabuntur ”.13 If a man carry sanctified flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touch with his skirt, bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat: shall it be sanctified? And the priests answered, and said: No.
14 Et respondit Aggaeus et dixit: “ Sicpopulus iste et sic gens ista ante faciem meam, dicit Dominus, et sic omne opusmanuum eorum et omnia, quae offerunt ibi, contaminata sunt.14 And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered, and said: It shall be defiled.
15 Et nunc ponite corda vestra a die hac et supra: Antequam poneretur lapissuper lapidem in templo Domini,15 And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this nation before my face, saith the Lord, and so is all the work of their hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled.
16 quid fuistis? Cum accederetis ad acervumviginti modiorum, erant decem; cum intraretis ad torcular, ut hauriretisquinquaginta lagenas, erant viginti.16 And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.
17 Percussi vos ariditate et rubigine etgrandine omnia opera manuum vestrarum, et non fuit in vobis qui reverteretur adme, dicit Dominus.17 When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty.
18 Ponite corda vestra ex die ista et in futurum, a dievicesima et quarta noni mensis, a die, qua fundamenta iacta sunt templi Domini,ponite super cor vestrum.18 I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord.
19 Numquid adhuc semen in horreo est, et adhuc vineaet ficus et malogranatum et lignum olivae non portavit fructum? Ex die hacbenedicam ”.
19 Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts.
20 Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggaeum in vicesima et quarta mensisdicens:20 Is the seed as yet sprung up? or hath the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree as yet flourished? from this day I will bless you.
21 “ Loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Iudae dicens: Ego movebo caelumpariter et terram21 And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:
22 et subvertam solium regnorum et conteram fortitudinemregnorum gentium et subvertam quadrigam et ascensores eius; et descendent equiet ascensores eorum, unusquisque percussus gladio fratris sui.22 Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.
23 In die illo,dicit Dominus exercituum, assumam te, Zorobabel fili Salathiel, serve meus,dicit Dominus, et ponam te quasi signaculum, quia te elegi ”, dicit Dominusexercituum.
23 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles: and I will overthrow the chariot, and him that rideth therein: and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
24 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will take thee, O Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
